THE BEST KETO CHOC CHIP MUFFINS
Not only are these muffins low carb but they are also sugar free and gluten free. Because they have minimal impact on blood sugar levels, diabetics can enjoy them as well.
S0 simple to make and reasonably healthy, these delicious muffins will keep fresh for about 3 days but they also freeze perfectly. This makes them ideal to grab for a snack on the run. I find that having treats like this on hand is a great way to stop being tempted by the wrong foods.
Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk powder features in this recipe but it is optional. The reason I like to use it in recipes like this is that it helps bind the almond meal. This creates a more moist texture that holds together really well. Feel free to omit if you don’t have any on hand. I also love that it adds additional fibre to the recipe.
SIMPLE VARIATIONS
Try adding 1 small mashed banana for banana choc chip muffins if they fit with your way of eating. Banana extract can also be added if you don’t want to use real bananas. Adding 1/2 cup of frozen or fresh raspberries to the batter just before baking is another delicious variation. White or milk chocolate can be used instead of dark chocolate but keep an eye on the sugar levels if watching your carbs.
To keep these paleo or vegan, you can switch the butter for the same amount of a mild tasting EVOO- extra virgin olive oil. You can also switch out the almond milk and the yogurt for coconut cream. Coconut milk could also be used but the end result won’t be quite as rich in flavor.
